Khamatgareev Drills Two Pair to Bust Panka
Level 8
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rustam Khamatgareev raised to 6,000 from the hijack, and Dominik Panka three-bet to around 20,000 from the small blind. Khamatgareev jammed, and Panka called off his stack of approximately 100,000.
Dominik Panka: K♥K♦
Rustam Khamatgareev: A♦Q♣
Panka had the best hand with pocket kings and just needed to fade an ace to double up to twice the starting stack.
Unfortunately for Panka, the A♣Q♥9♠ flop was a disaster, as Khamatgareev took the lead with two pair.
The 3♦ turn and 5♦ river completed the board, and Panka became the newest casualty of the event.
